“If your business still depends on your best energy every day, you are not building something sustainable.”
I read that line in a LinkedIn post, and it made me think of how I run my business.
I am currently reading The Magic of Thinking Big, hoping it will help me refocus.
But I feel tired.
I write, edit, plan strategy, and handle visuals.
I do not have a polished system yet. I am the system.
And lately, that system has been running low.
I show up on some days and accomplish a lot. On other days, I fall behind.
I have not yet built a setup that allows me to step back without everything stalling.
I know I need to make some shifts, but I also need to move carefully and with intention.
I am thankful to have clients who work with me, not over me. That kind of trust and respect helps me keep going.
Still, I have responsibilities I cannot drop.
I am not sharing this because I have figured it out. I have not.
But putting this into words gives me a bit of relief.
Have you gone through something like this? Or do you feel stuck in the same place right now?
I hope to finish the book and find the courage I need to take the next step.

𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭.

Let’s be real. Some days feel heavier than others.

There are times when just getting out of bed already feels like an effort. And if you work from home, the line between rest and responsibility can easily blur.

I’ve had mornings where I sat in front of my screen, stuck and distracted. But I’ve learned that even on those days, showing up still counts.

Discipline doesn’t always mean ticking off the whole list.

Sometimes it just means:
✅ Opening your laptop.
✅ Writing one decent line.
✅ Finishing one task to keep the wheels turning.

You won’t feel motivated all the time. And that’s normal.

But if you keep showing up in small ways, you’re not falling behind. You’re still moving.

❓ How are you showing up today?

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠?

I have heard people say this many times, even seasoned freelancers.

“I am just a ________”
“I just do ________”

I understand this mindset. Working behind the scenes makes us feel like our role does not matter. The spotlight often focuses on those who speak loudly, sell the most, or carry the biggest titles.

But I have learned something else.
🚀The work that moves things forward often stays quiet.
🚀The people who keep things running rarely get the applause.
🚀The most valuable roles do not always come with fancy titles.

Lead generation, admin support, and back-end systems demand strategy, consistency, and grit. These tasks are not small.

So if you have ever said, “I am just…”, please stop there.

You are not just anything. You help things work.

You deserve credit for what you do. Quiet does not mean invisible. Unseen does not mean unimportant.

Take a moment to look at your work and remind yourself that it matters.

Wishing you a calm and meaningful week ahead.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞.

This line made me reflect.

📖 I read it from the story of Tobi, the 2025 valedictorian of Ateneo de Manila University, who grew up in the same city I live in. He graduated summa cm laude, won as a champion debater, and will soon study at the London School of Economics.

✨ But I did not only notice his achievements. I felt drawn to his self-awareness and the courage to say something most of us feel but rarely admit.

🖊 I have freelanced as a lead generation and content writing specialist for five years.

I help clients grow, stay up late to meet deadlines, and learn new things even when exhausted.

But I also tell myself many times that I am not good enough.

💭 I look at friends and former colleagues who speak at events, carry titles, and travel abroad. I sometimes ask myself if I made the right decision when I left my job at the university.

I have not completed the registration of my business. I do not manage a team. I do not hold credentials that others in my field often highlight.

I also did not finish a degree in journalism or communication.

😞 I used to believe I was a fake writer.

Then I read that line again. “We are the lies we tell ourselves. We are who we pretend to be.”

I paused and reflected. Maybe I have not faked anything.

I may have built something solid quietly and slowly with everything I have.

💡 I now understand what others have told me over the years.

✅ I do my best.
✅ I have overcome a lot.
✅ I keep showing up even when I feel tired or unsure.

If you carry the same doubts and build your work without the usual background, I hope this reminds you of something important.

You are not a fake. You are a builder.

And you have already become the person you thought you were only pretending to be.

09/06/2025

Clarity takes action, not just planning.

I used to think I needed everything figured out before showing up.
✅The perfect plan.
✅The right offer.
✅The exact niche.

But the truth is, you only start seeing clearly after you move.

Building a presence on LinkedIn works the same way.
💡 You try a few things.
💡 You talk to people.
💡 You test ideas.
💡 You learn from what clicks and what falls flat.

I will not preach about building a business because I still have a long way to go. But I can say this with confidence.

Waiting for the perfect strategy keeps you stuck. Taking imperfect steps teaches you more than overthinking ever will.

💗 I am fortunate to work with clients who understand that our daily work here is a work in progress. There is no perfect strategy.

👉 What matters is the willingness to test, tweak, and stay curious about what works.

If you are in that messy middle, too, keep going. There is progress in the process, even if it does not look like it yet.

06/06/2025

Not every breakthrough looks like a win.

We chase results because we need to survive. We learn every strategy, try every platform, and send every message, hoping something works.

The shift does not always begin with landing a client or closing a deal.

It often begins with how we:
✅ show up when no one responds.
✅ speak to ourselves when nothing seems to move.
✅ stay focused when others seem to be ahead.

If you work hard to gain traction but feel stuck, you might grow in ways that do not seem like progress. That kind of growth builds the strength to handle what comes next.

Ask yourself:
❓What have I been telling myself when things do not work?
❓Where do I need to shift how I approach my goals?
❓What kind of growth do I need now that has nothing to do with money?

I get it if you're in that space trying, learning, adjusting, and still figuring things out. I’m there, too, in many ways.

If you want someone to talk to who understands what that feels like, my inbox is open.

No pressure. No perfect answers. Just a real conversation.

The word on this sculpture caught my attention.
*
𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄. This is one of the core values of the Philippine Military Academy.
*
I took this photo during a short trip with my siblings and their families to one of Baguio City's most visited spots. I saw the word, paused, and reflected on my own story.
*
I left my stable job without savings or insurance. I carried debt, had no backup plan, and stepped into the freelance world with nothing but the hope that I could make it work.
*
That happened five years ago.
*
Since then, I have put four children through school. Two are in college, one is in high school, and one just moved up from preschool.

❌ I still live in a cramped apartment.
❌ I still have debts.
❌ I have no savings.
❌ I failed in two other businesses.
✅ But I activated my health insurance.
✅ And I continue to show up.
*
Sometimes I wonder how I managed to stay in the business when others decided to stop. I chose to stay because I had the courage to keep going, even when nothing seemed to work.
*
But this photo reminded me of something else.
*
Having the courage to start or stay is not enough.
*
I also need the courage to grow. To think bigger. To act on what comes next.

❓ Should I start a team?
❓ Do I have what it takes to lead one?
❓ Can I bring in more clients to support that growth?

I do not have the answers yet. But I know that I need to ask them with courage.

❓ What question must you answer with courage before this month ends?

I wasn’t planning to watch a movie one time.
*
*
But a short clip showed up on my Facebook feed.
*
*
A man, desperate to make something work despite being broke, humiliated, and rejected at every turn. He looked beaten down, but his spirit wasn’t.
*
*
That scene stayed with me. So I searched for the whole film.
*
*
𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐢 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐮
*
*
And it hit me hard.
*
*
The story is about a man who tried to build something meaningful from scratch while drowning in debt, with limited support and an entire system working against him.
*
*
It felt too familiar.
*
*
As a freelancer trying to scale my business, I’ve had to deal with
😞proposals that went unanswered
😞leads that never turned into clients
😞businesses that didn’t survive
😞and health challenges, I can’t always pause for
*
*
Some days, I question everything. Other days, I remind myself I’m still here. Still trying
*
*
Some weeks start heavy. But stories like these remind us that moving forward, even slowly, is still movement.
*
*
That movie didn’t magically fix anything for me.
*
*
But it reminded me that perseverance isn’t glamorous. It’s messy, painful, and often lonely.
*
*
And sometimes, that’s enough to see someone else fighting and know you’re not alone in yours.
*

𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚—𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒎 𝒐𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒚?

Time moves fast, but progress doesn't always follow the same pace.

For entrepreneurs, leaders, and freelancers alike, it's a reminder: success isn't about rushing—it's about steady, intentional steps forward.

Remember the goals you set when the new year started. How are you doing so far?

Don't be too hard on yourself if you haven't started acting on them yet. Every day is a new chance to begin—January doesn't define the rest of your year.

To stay calm this week, try these:

🌱 Take a moment each morning to plan your priorities.
🌱 Step away from the noise—schedule short breaks during the day.
🌱 Practice gratitude—it shifts your mindset from stress to positivity.
🌱 Focus on what you can control, and let go of the rest.
🌱 Keep your space organized—it can do wonders for your clarity.

❓ What about you? What's one thing you do to stay calm and on track while working toward your goals?

January's not over yet. There's still time to finish strong. Let's make it count.

“𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?”

It’s the question my son asks every time we travel. Over and over, without fail.

At first, I’d try to shorten the wait for him—“We’re close!”—but he always knew when I wasn’t being truthful.

So now, I explain what’s happening, even the slowdowns. And when I shift the conversation to something meaningful, he forgets about his impatience.

This got me thinking: isn’t this how we approach LinkedIn for business?

We want quick wins—leads, connections, sales. But rushing the process misses the point.

Content marketing and lead generation aren’t about shortcuts. ❌

✅ They’re about trust, consistency, and meaningful engagement.

The audience you’re building here isn’t just numbers on a dashboard. It’s people.

And when you focus on sharing value, having honest conversations, and building relationships, growth becomes a natural outcome.

So, the next time you feel impatient about results, ask yourself:
❓Are you only chasing the destination?
❓Or are you making the journey worthwhile?

Feel free to share your thoughts or reach out if you’d like to explore how to make your journey on LinkedIn more meaningful.
